As we continue to ask ourselves what is so good about the gospel, we will discover today the restorative power of a God who chooses to come close.

In part two of this series on the Restorative Good News Story of God, we discover the God who reaches towards his people with one powerful question, “Where are you?” We will discover the hope found in that simple questions and its power to dismantle shame and return dignity to the objectified.

Join us for a five part series where we rediscover the gospel, and particularly the God who is moving throughout it all to bring about the hope and restoration we all so desperately desire.
